Description

The ability of intraveneously-injected mouse mammary tumor cells to form lung tumors is increase by irradiation of the thorax 24 h previously. The authors examined the effects of treatment with a perfluorchemical emulsion (Fluosol-DA, 20%) plus carbogen before and during irradiation on the radiation-induced enhancement of lung nodule formation. The authors found no evidence that treatment with Fluosol plus carbogen altered the development of tumor nodules in irradiated mouse lungs. (author). 22 refs.; 1 fig.; 1 tab
